I am a writer and researcher based in Dublin, where I hold the position of historian-in-residence at EPIC The Irish Emigration Museum. My work focuses on recovering the experiences of ordinary people, particularly the many young women who left Ireland in the nineteenth and early twentieth century.

I am committed to making historical scholarship accessible to public audiences and have curated exhibitions that have travelled to India, Barbados, the UK and across Ireland.

My first book,Intimate Connections: Irish Domestic Servants in Transatlantic Culture, c. 1870-1945 (Palgrave Macmillan, 2025), examines popular understandings of Irish immigrant workers in Britain and the United States, drawing on sources including print media, films, memoirs, family letters and oral histories.
